Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Papalote by Pedro Infante from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo fui tu papalote
I was your kite
Me repapaloteaste
you ripped me off
Como te dio la gana
as she gave you the desire
Y armaste tu mitote
And you put together your mitote
Cuando por tus amigos
when for your friends
De plano te corte
I flat out cut you
Me traibas en la altura
you brought me to the height
Por mas que yo rabiaba
No matter how angry I was
Y rabiaba al comprender
And he was angry when he understood
Que así no era muy macho
That he wasn't very macho like that
Que así no era muy macho
That he wasn't very macho like that
Ni tu eras mi mujer
you were not my wife
Papalote en el aigre
kite in the air
Dale un besito
give him a kiss
Al hijo de mi madre
To my mother's son
Ya tienes tu grandote
You already have your big one
Pa' que lo quieras mucho
So that you want it a lot
Y lo hagas padecer
and make him suffer
Ya no soy papalote
I'm not a kite anymore
Ya no soy papalote
I'm not a kite anymore
De ninguna mujer
of no woman
Yo fui tu papalote
I was your kite
Me repapaloteaste
you ripped me off
Como te dio la gana
as she gave you the desire
Y armaste tu mitote
And you put together your mitote
Cuando por tus amigos
when for your friends
De plano te corte
I flat out cut you
Me traibas en la altura
you brought me to the height
Por mas que yo rabiaba
No matter how angry I was
Y rabiaba al comprender
And he was angry when he understood
Que así no era muy macho
That he wasn't very macho like that
Que así no era muy macho
That he wasn't very macho like that
Ni tu eras mi mujer
you were not my wife
Papalote en el aigre
kite in the air
Dale un besito
give him a kiss
Al hijo de mi madre
To my mother's son
Ya tienes tu grandote
You already have your big one
Pa' que lo quieras mucho
So that you want it a lot
Y lo hagas padecer
and make him suffer
Ya no soy papalote

Ya no soy papalote
